I assume you are talking about the router_pick_published_address
message.

This is a temporary error when your relay is overloaded.

I just tried
http://167.114.245.102:9030/tor/server/authority
and it delivered the descriptor fine, with no error.

I logged a ticket:

Relays should log a message when they return a 503 error to a client
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/20611

> router_pick_published_address(): Success: chose address 'x.x.x.x'

This message is not an error, it is a success.

But I can see how it would be annoying:

Rate limit router_pick_published_address log message

Maybe you should turn your log level down to notice?
The less you log, the better.
